A note on scalar field theory in AdS3/CFT2

We consider a scalar field theory in AdSd+1, and introduce a formalism on surfaces at equal values of the radial coordinate. In particular, we define the corresponding conjugate momentum. We compute the Noether currents for isometries in the bulk, and perform the asymptotic limit on the correspondin...
